This Week at NerdMelt Showroom: Harmontown, Meltdown Pilot, and more!

Share:

It’s an exciting week this week at NerdMelt Showroom at Meltdown Comics in Los Angeles! Dan Harmon and Jeff B. Davis return home from the road, The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail is shooting a pilot for Comedy Central, LoveMelt is on Valentine’s Day, and more, more, more. Check it out!

Sunday at 5pm is Nerdist Writer’s Panel!

The Nerdist Writer’s Panel series is an informal chat moderated by Ben Blacker (co-creator of The Thrilling Adventure Hour; writer for Supah Ninjas, Supernatural, among others) with professional writers about the process and business of writing. Covering TV, film, comic books, music, novels, and any other kind of writing about which you care to hear. Sunday, February 10th, come join us for a chat with: Bill Prady (co-creator, The Big Bang Theory; Gilmore Girls, Dharma and Greg), Stephen Scaia (Y: The Last Man and Zorro films; Jericho; Human Target), and more. As always, proceeds from the live panels benefit 826LA, the national non-profit tutoring program.

Come watch Matt Mira and Paul Cibis host this comedy free-for-all. You’ll see brand new comics, comics you know and love trying out new material (Chris Hardwick and Kumail Nanjiani are frequent drop-ins), and the magic that is live comedy.

After vodka-soaked tour across the U.S. Harmontown comes home to NerdMelt! What is Harmontown? It’s awesome. It’s unique. It’s one of a kind. It’s something only Dan Harmon (creator of Community and the upcoming Rick and Morty) and Jeff B. Davis (Whose Line is it Anyway) can do. It’s a different show every time and it’s every week. Lucky us! Playing Dungeons and Dragons? It’s happened. Dan Harmon freestyle rapping? Yup, that too. Calling Chevy Chase from stage? Happened… more than once. A celebrity guest? Alison Brie, Donald Glover, and Gillian Jacobs among others have all stopped in. Getting super personal with an intimate audience? Always. It’s Harmontown. It’s awesome. It’s unique. Don’t miss a single week.

Guess what? Comedy Central has ordered a pilot of The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail! We’ll be producing it with Red Hour Films (home of our brother from another mother Mike Rosenstein), and the legendary Lance Bangs will be directing! Exciting, huh?!?
